Practical Information for THSR Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on THSR and connecting local trains. Below are key points to know when bringing luggage aboard high-speed and regional services between Taibao and New Taipei:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring carry-on items and larger suitcases. THSR allows two large items within combined size limits and weight commonly enforced at station checks; local trains accept typical luggage but verify size limits for rack space.

Storage Facilities

THSR cars provide overhead shelves for small bags and designated luggage areas at car ends for larger suitcases. Local trains and metro have limited storage, so place large items near doors or in allocated bays when available.

Special Items

For bicycles, musical instruments, or oversized sports equipment, check operator rules in advance. Some items require advance notification or folding to fit in standard luggage areas; availability is subject to space on THSR and local services.
